Synopsis

Dan is a childish idiot trapped in an adult’s life, whose world is at near collapse. His girlfriend Naomi is fast running out of patience with his inability to navigate the simplest of life tasks. He has two uniquely dysfunctional friends and a listless teaching career that sees him begrudgingly teach a version of the same lesson every day, inexplicably popular with all but one of the pupils, with his only highlight coming in the form of Miss Lipsey, a head mistress who views Dan with a mixture of pity and despair. To make matters worse, he is tormented daily by his willfully insane father, whose driving motivation in life seems to be to ensure his son is humiliated at every turn.

seanpaulcasey Quirky, a little out there, and weird characters that grow on you. A nice change of comedy where you can't predict the episode or action or dialogue. Sound track and music is pretty cool
cosmax10 I use to be a great fan of British comedies, but they seem to have written themselves into pretty much the same old characters. This show is no different than Doc Martin who is an unrealistic character and lives in a village/town with overly exaggerated quirky characters. The same goes for this show, some of the characters come across as real and odd, but some of the others just ridiculously overdone to the point of being childish pantomime. You often seen the same actors appearing in various British dramas/comedies as if there aren't any others available. Greg Davies is very animated and reminds me of a 12 year old boy showing off to his family and friends. You know the kind, "watch me, watch me". I think he should branch out a bit and write more versatile things. The Brits seemed to think poo and farts is just the funniest thing. It could be if done properly. I am disappointed in the standard of British comedy it seems to have lost its way.
Elliotb-butler18 As there are no reviews for Man Down i thought i might get it started. Man Down is a good new Chanel 4 comedy staring Greg Davies from the Inbetweeners. It started off brilliantly with huge laughs, but by episode 3 it has lost its touch. Episodes 1 & 2 Were very well written and incredibly funny but episode 3 seems to have lost its touch. Some scenes were funny but the rest of the episode seemed like it was written last minute. Rik Mayall plays a brilliant part as the Dad who constantly plays practical jokes on his son. Overall i will still watch but i cant see a second series coming anytime soon'6/10
Humbole As no-one has yet written a review, I felt obliged to begin.Having just watched the first two episodes, I can tell you, my cheeks are aching and I haven't laughed so much since my Auntie wet herself in Tesco.Greg Davies is utterly brilliant. Hapless, helpless and human. The interaction with the children had me shrieking and holding my sides.The casting of Rik Mayall as 'Dad' is a stroke of genius. Utterly bonkers and an uncanny resemblance.Imagine The Inbetweeners for 40-somthings, with a little Nighty Night thrown in.If you like Greg's stand-up, I guarantee this will tickle your fancy.
